Services
Regular eye examinations are essential to enable us to have the best vision possible.
Early detection and diagnosis of ocular conditions will give the best possible prognosis, so it is essential that you contact your optometrist if you or your family are experiencing any problems with your eyes.
Retinal photography is an important part of the modern eye examination.
It allows the practitioner to identify retinal pathology early and is an excellent tool for monitoring ocular diseases like dry Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy.

Myopia (short-sighted) has increased significantly worldwide in the past 20 years.
If myopia is in your family then it is important to have your children checked regularly to see if they too are developing it.
Other factors have been shown to affect the risk of myopia.
These include not enough time spent outdoors and too much time doing near vision tasks like i-pads and extensive reading.
Recent studies have suggested that fitting a multifocal contact lens in children can help slow down the progression of myopia by up to 50%.
